![]() ![]() We had heard a lot of people talk about the Nippers Bar. ![]() ![]() While getting ready to head out, we had a little reef shark swimming around the boat – our first shark sighting! The next day it was too windy to head out to the reef, so we took the dinghy ashore to explore. They are pretty much the most badass creature in the ocean. If you don’t know what a mantis shrimp is, check out this video. I got to see my first green mantis shrimp, which made the dive totally worth it but otherwise there wasn’t much else to see. To prep for scuba diving, we decided to dive in the 10 feet under our boat to test our gear and brandy new scuba compressor. The holding was fine but between the wind moving west and the constant ferry and rental boat traffic, this was the least comfortable anchorage we stayed in. So much for our quiet, secluded anchorage – we moved north to the crowded anchorage near Grabbers bar. Based on the guides and maps, we thought there might be something to see near a cut at the southern end of the island, but when we tried to anchor there, we could not get the anchor to dig in after about 4 tries. Our goal for the rest of our trip was to be in the water as much as possible, either snorkeling or diving (but we were about to discover that the East winds make this not as easy as we would hope). We were only trying to go a few miles to Great Guana Cay but it was a long, wet slog dead to wind. Fairly strong winds with 3-4′ of chop had us pinned into the the Treasure Cay Marina. As we exited the marina into the baby blue waters of the Sea of Abaco we were quickly confronted by a disappointing reality. We don’t believe in goodbyes though it’s always “See you later!” We took our time prepping the boat and pulling out of the biggest slip I think we have ever had. We are looking forward to hearing from you and would be honored to welcome you to Shannas Cove Resort.After dropping Dave off at the Treasure Cay airport we were a bit bummed out as is always the case when a crew member has to leave.
